Personal site layout critique

Hi all. This is the layout of a personal site, which means it will not be used to impress people. Mainly it will have my blog, some experiments/photos/writings etc, and links. It’ll be done in html/css. A pretty simple affair.

Right now the font colors for the blog and archives don’t seem to work for me, but I cannot think of any better (I suck at colors when it comes to main content). It looks a little too plain for me. Can anyone offer advice?
